2 Third Croatian Seminar on BP Dubrovnik, Juny 30 to July 2, 2005 JOINT CURRICULA AND JOINT DEGREES In order to further strengthen the important European dimensions of higher education and graduate employability, Ministers called upon the higher education sector to increase the development of modules, courses and curricula at all levels with ”European” content, orientation or organisation. This concerns particularly modules, courses and degree curricula offered in partnership by institutions from different countries and leading to a recognized joint degree. (Prague Communiqué, 2001)

This concerns particularly modules, courses and degree curricula offered in partnership by institutions from different countries and leading to a recognized joint degree. (Prague Communiqué, 2001)

4 Third Croatian Seminar on BP Dubrovnik, Juny 30 to July 2, 2005 JOINT DEGREES – definition after study programmes that correspond to all or at least some of the following:  the programs are developed and/or approved by several institutions  students from each institution study part of the program at other participating institution  the students’ stay at the participating institutions are comparable length  periods of study and passed exams are recognised fully and automatically  professors of each participating institution also teach at the other institutions and work on curriculum jointly  after completing the program, the student either obtains the national degree or a degree awarded jointly

6 Mei:CogSci: Middle European international master programme in Cognitive Science Tempus meeting, March 16 - 17, 2005, Zagreb  To learn about “European dimension” in action  Reflect on stand-alone degrees  To help improve inter-university cooperation since Joint programmes require:  transparency and agreement on degree structures  student and professor mobility  joint curriculum development  proper use of ECTS  language policy EUA’s Interest in Joint Programmes: Third Croatian Seminar on BP Dubrovnik, Juny 30 to July 2, 2005

7 Mei:CogSci: Middle European international master programme in Cognitive Science Tempus meeting, March 16 - 17, 2005, Zagreb Conclusions:  agreed that joint degrees are important instruments for implementing the objectives of the Bologna Process, promoting mobility of students and teachers, employability, quality, the European dimension and the attractiveness of the EHEA  quality assurance is necessary to guarantee international acceptance  mutual trust and co-operation between national QA systems would be essential to avoid problems with recognition of joint degrees The Stockholm Seminar (May, 2002) Third Croatian Seminar on BP Dubrovnik, Juny 30 to July 2, 2005

8 Mei:CogSci: Middle European international master programme in Cognitive Science Tempus meeting, March 16 - 17, 2005, Zagreb The Stockholm Seminar Common denominators for European joint degrees were proposed, among them the following:  two or more participating institutions in two or more countries  a joint study programme confirmed in a written agreement between the institutions  the requirement of student and staff mobility  linguistic diversity  a European dimension Third Croatian Seminar on BP Dubrovnik, Juny 30 to July 2, 2005

9 Mei:CogSci: Middle European international master programme in Cognitive Science Tempus meeting, March 16 - 17, 2005, Zagreb Analysis supported the Stockholm conclusions:  Efforts to establish joint degrees are relevant to most objectives of the Bologna Process  Effect of a joint programme may be greater than the sum of its parts when each partner covers the part where it is the most competent  Joint degrees exist in most fields of study  Joint degrees are more common on the second degree level than on the lower level Stockholm Seminar Follow – up : Andrejs Rauhvargers: EUA Survey on Master Degrees and Joint Degrees in Europe (September 2002) Third Croatian Seminar on BP Dubrovnik, Juny 30 to July 2, 2005
